00:01.07chomwitti aggree that 'lowering the barriers'  angle could give a little 'push' and love to the project
00:02.26chomwittthe main problem i think is there a point in time where sourcing the materials cant be done , so in that case the project is from the implementation side dead?
00:03.19houkimejoerg has a photo with loads of N900 boxes in his archive so there's at least some buffer
00:03.28houkimei don't know how big though
00:03.55chomwittsouldnt there be in a project a 'virtual' responsible for that aspect, and shouldnt 'his' knowledge be public so even the roles of the project can be passed around like the kicad schmeatics or the code?
00:05.10chomwitti think an open hardware project, to keep alive needs open roles.
00:05.34houkimeJoerg-Neo900:good call^^^^^
00:06.16chomwitt?
00:07.25houkimeit is just how irc works - to grab someone's particular attention you include his nick in the message

00:08.21houkimeI quess now the responsibility and money affairs are on joerg
00:08.37houkime*currently
00:09.09chomwitti see.
00:10.02chomwittpeertube.social stalls a little , but is cool!
00:10.21chomwittone moment to see sth
00:10.30houkimeatk does web administration, joerg is sort of CEO, wpwrak did a motherload with actual development of sch and tools
00:10.46houkimenumber of contributors did footprints
00:10.59chomwitthttps://system76.com/about  <-- i like that page..
00:11.33houkimepseudoanimations are nice)
00:11.35chomwitti mean it's a company and seems  open to the world
00:11.55chomwittin a way that makes you feel nice..
00:12.33chomwittit makes you feel conected.. cyberconnected...
00:13.54chomwittand open hardware project could have an about page with virtual roles, and images of people in each role and links to 'data-sets' related to each virtual-role .
00:15.32chomwittthats my share of little ideas

00:20.10chomwittso it should be written in the dna of any open hardware project , that there should be a http accessible about page with the virtual roles and each role should have a link to a role-status org file rested in a git repository
00:20.28*** join/#neo900 Kabouik_ (~kabouik@236.34.200.37.customer.cdi.no)
00:21.18houkimebtw what do you mean by role-status exactly?

00:23.19*** mode/#neo900 [+q *!*@*179.38.137.178] by Donnager
00:24.00chomwitteach virtual role i think should have a task to accomplish , for example sourcing the materials. So a material-sourcer-status file should contain the status of all the related efforts and the outcome of all the real-persons that helped in that virtual-role's job
00:24.22*** mode/#neo900 [-q *!*@*179.38.137.178] by Donnager
00:25.45chomwittso we need a wiki page for the project. and an about page which i think should follow the layout of the system76's about page but with virtual-images linking to each roles status-org file.
00:26.17houkimehmmm... this is interesting.
00:26.33houkimeJoerg also wants a wiki btw
00:28.11houkimecan you please structurize your plan into an issue to the planning repo and post it there so it isn't lost?
00:28.31houkimehttps://notabug.org/Houkime/Neo900-Planning
00:28.34chomwittwell, it make sense to me , all the related info of the current state of each sub-job accessible from one central page
00:28.59chomwittthat also is a 'barrier lowering' cog.
00:30.58chomwitti'll try to do the 'post' in the planning repo
00:31.32houkimejust submit an issue
00:31.41houkimeit is as simple as on github
00:31.53houkimeexactly the same
00:34.41houkimeAbout helping out with wiki you can talk with atk or Joerg-Neo900 on that. there's a real need here.
00:34.57houkimethe websit is open-source so about page is moddable
00:35.03houkimerepo is here https://neo900.org/git/www/
00:35.43houkimeit is not as simple as fork+pr to contribute though((
00:36.55houkimebasically now if one wants to make a patch he should make a patchfile and send it with email to atk probably
00:38.43houkimethis was a point of my criticism of current git repos on neo900.org a while ago.
00:38.45chomwittit says its a pelican static site generator
00:39.11chomwittin python
00:40.46chomwittso there's no wiki functionality in the site now i think
00:42.06chomwittis there a thread about that criticism the currend git repos?
00:44.53houkimeI linked "www" repo regarding "about" page. Wiki for now was intended not really a part of website itself (like archwiki which is tied to the rest of the site with links)
00:45.31houkimeno, no thread yet. i probably need to make one
00:45.49houkimeit is somewhat displayed in the readme of the planning repo though
00:51.09chomwitti've read the Neo900-planning page.
00:54.26houkimethere's a mention of fork+pr workflow there which I actually added earlier today for consistency but that's it for now. It obviously should be a repo issue
00:54.39chomwittin a way u have 3 virtual-roles by know:  the hardware guy.. the pcb layouter ,  the system admin (little fyzzu his job.. thought) and the pr guy!
00:55.52houkimeit is fuzzy because it is a flamy topic mainly and thus the constructive discussion is somewhat hindered
00:56.14chomwittbut i think we need also the 'hardware sourcing  guy..' and the 'economical'
00:57.21chomwittasked diaspora channel if i can embed a peertube.social video in a post

01:07.20houkimethere's a possibility that Joerg has talked about sourcing somewhere in his maemo talks but better ask about it when he is around.
01:08.19houkimei have no troubles listing his responsibilities in the repo though
01:09.06houkimewith an actual status of sourcing
01:09.31chomwitti have the feeling thats a highly sensible subject ....
01:10.47houkimei don't really think it is that much sensible. Like, it is for sure not personal (whereas git-related stuff sometimes suddenly gets)
01:13.09houkimeIt's just that I don't know much more than we have a significant amount of n900s to experiment with
01:13.48houkimeand the joerg is not currently around to talk numbers
01:19.14chomwitti sense thats there are fears that either should be met , discussed and solved or there would be more stagnation .
01:19.41houkimeI think what we need is an economical report
01:19.58houkimelike any normal open project
01:20.03chomwitt+1 on that
01:20.51chomwittwe should put that on the plan you initiated
01:21.56chomwittbut as i said where money is involved things could become litte bumpy..
01:21.58chomwitt:-)
01:22.35chomwittbut as i also said ...fears not met and discussed will consume the life of it
01:23.21houkimeyeeep... Money is a thing that separates people from  openly available neo900 layout btw

01:23.25chomwittthinks .. a philosopher could be also usefull ...
01:23.26chomwitt:-)
01:24.19chomwitti should take a look at sparkfun model by the way
01:25.21houkimethere's a strange piece of logic that joerg uses to justify semi-closed state that includes chinese copycats making cheap stuff
01:25.50houkimehoweer i myself see it as a little paranoidal for an esoteric device like neo900.
01:26.48houkimealso here's the thing that i don't think backers would really object if neo900 chinese clones will get done ahead of vanilla one
01:27.34chomwittwell ... if there was a choice in a semi-closed approach i think by know its weaknesses and strengths should have been made visible.
01:28.18chomwitteven the general approach of a project should be under git !! :-)
01:29.24houkimewell, you won't have trouble accessing the layout now, it just involves talks with people.
01:30.02chomwittleaders of neo900 surrander your memory banks to the RMS deity for update and upgrade or behold of his wrath!!! :-)
01:34.27houkimewhatever, make issues, talk with us in here and we will see where it can go.
01:35.16chomwittanyway serious job has been done and trying to protect it is reasonable and fair i think.. but that counter to an open approach that could keep a project afloat like a phoenix :-)
01:36.19houkimeI think that securiy measures right now are unreasonable for the project current state
01:36.40chomwittthe middle ground should be reassesed and find its weaknesses and fix them.
01:37.49houkimeNot just this, but in general have more community-centric approach
01:38.05houkimethat's a thing that I'm trying to fix right now
01:39.29houkimebasically now the community should defeat joerg
01:39.31houkime))
01:41.21houkimewell at least that part of him that might impede progress
01:42.15houkimeneed to note though that many problems right now arise just because of small people count
01:44.10houkimewhere is no community in place - many bad decisions happen
01:45.44houkimeSparkfun is wonderful
01:46.24houkimethey try to educate people, have nice general pcb howtos and videos.
01:47.27houkimeBasically they try to solve the main problem if open hardware - people being afraid to dive in
01:51.56houkimesicelo: sorry, your comment somehow got marked as review needed
01:52.34houkimesicelo: I don't really know why since i remember making more liberal settings
01:55.06houkimesicelo: and I recheck them now and there're no filters or limitations.
01:56.26houkimesicelo: it seems like a youTube glitch
01:56.48chomwitton the other hand .. dragonbox seems to be semi-closed but more near to its goal...  that could be a counterargument to open up..
01:57.14houkimechomwitt: it is more complex than that
01:57.44houkimethe thing is that now neo900 is severely undermanned
01:57.56chomwittisnt dragonbox semi-closed or even more closed?
01:59.00houkimechomwitt: closed source hits undermanned groups more
01:59.41chomwitti see. valid argument i think
02:02.21houkimeif we had a nice full core team we would have almost zero problems with semiclosed. However if one relies on community, or forced to rely on it, closing up is not a real option i think
02:02.50chomwittbut in an undermanned project the 'mans' left dont have the power to hold the world still if their fears are not solved and have put their personal work in it?
02:05.05chomwitti mean if that project is semi-closed then there is ownership ...period. you cant open that someone feels he owns it.
